How to put files in SVN first time

[RobInk]

Hi,

I got a PM from Stasys (http://forum.joomla.org/index.php?action=profile;u=44) asking how to put files in SVN the first time.

Logging it here for future questions/answers.

You might want to correct the typo in the subject title and then delete this post

Done, thanks Brain  No need to delete the post...

To start off your SVN you need to create a directory on your local computer.  In that directory, execute the following:

svn co --username http://joomlacode.org/svn/ .

This will checkout the empty repository into the directory you created.

Copy the files you want to checkin into this directory.

Then do:

svn add (svn add * to add everything)

Then:
svn commit

And you are done.

See http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/ ... cle.update for more information on the basic working cycle.

Refer to: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/ ... ing.layout

For information on repository layout if you want a recommendation as to how to layout your repository (i.e. with branch, tag and trunk)

is the username and password the same one for joomlacode.org??

Yes, it is. After a project is granted, a script runs ever so often that sets the correct to SVN of that project.
